Hmmm. Why are genitals spiritual, again? Why is “holiness” equated to changes done to your genitals again? Why are we even talking about genitals, when I asked about gender, not physical sex? Why is transness inherently genitals here, and why can Havie not talk about the gender of each country without talking about genitals? Hmm. Bad.
…Anyway, as I was saying, what “trans people that have physically changed to be X are seen as more sacred then those that haven’t” is mighty thin ice to be walking on.
It can be equated to the transmedicalist ideas that only people that physically transition or want to are actually trans, that only trans people that have had HRT or sex reassignment surgery are valid, and the general transphobic notion that transness has something to do with the body and not the mind.
Not to mention it also ignores female/feminine nbs and male/masculine nbs, or just a wide variety of more static nb identities in favour of, once again, cis people’s favourite: the genital-less mutilated androgynous blob.
But doesn’t physical sex have some bearing on discussions of gender? Isn’t the entire concept of transness based on a difference between one’s gender identity/expression and the gender that was assigned at birth based on physical sex?
Regardless, I’m obviously out of my depth here, and it’s probably best if I bow out of the gender conversation. I’m sorry if any offense was given.
Yikes, don’t need any of that subtext, thanks. Strike the semi-sacredness of being physically genderless (i.e. the paragraph starting “To change one’s body…” in my Abhuman section above). Also happy to drop the question of Laj’s rate of physical reshuffling.
Be fair–I managed to talk about Halassur without mentioning the ritual penis-waving competitions of the priests of Kormuz and Nyryal without discussing the annual genital exam required for all Evrenites. I think I’ve been quite restrained. For a cis boy.
I don’t know anything about the kamuy besides the Wikipedia page I just read–anything you’d recommend I read/watch about them?
Okay you managed to talk about Halassurqs without doing that, but then the trolley tumbled down the cliff following Nyr.
A lot of transphobic stuff goes unnoticed purely because “non-binary” is somehow seen as separate from what might be offensive to binary trans folks. You’d never say “women/men who have made their body physically woman/men are considered semi-sacred” because that’s a clusterfuck of Bad Ideas, but somehow because it’s nb it slips the net.
It’s been years since I did research, I read random papers on Ainu worship and oral history/mythology around Google and sites about folk stories and practices. Things about weirder and more unique stones or branches having “stronger” kamuy and the separation of seasons into genders and ages. I couldn’t point you toward any off the top of my head, but I’ll have a look about when I’m free.
Don’t apologise. There’s no reason to. You put this stuff out so that people can correct it. That’s self-awareness. We aren’t all born into this world pure and Unproblematic™️: we change, and learn, and that’s good.
I don’t understand anything really… So what happens with Woman cis that have a spirit that is not feminine… My head hurts like when i read the Silmarilion
Today I caught myself thinking that, a season away from my twentieth birthday, I’m pretty much the same age the MC is when they first meet Breden.
I can’t help but look back to the when I tested the game in high school, and remember how I used to think people that people who are nearing two decades would feel and be more mature than I do now.
Come this Sunday, I’m 22. When I first joined this site as a wee bastard (I still love and devour bagels) I was 15. When I was banned, I was 20. Can you imagine… the time…
I still don’t have eat a bagel yet. I think is a donuts or something similar?
Also YouTube lately is OBSESSED recommend me Dora The explorer LOL I HATE DORA SONG… Do i look like a dora fan… Oh you are watching a video on cyberpunk check this DORA VIDEO
Bagels have a hole in the center like a donut but they’re more of a bread product than a pastry. The dough is denser and it contains far less sugar. While they can be eaten straight, often they’re cut in half and used in place of a pair of bread slices to make a sandwich. They’re a tradition in the Northeastern US, brought here by the large numbers of Ashkenazic Jews who migrated from Eastern Europe, often eating them with cream cheese and salmon, ie. “bagels & lox”.
l am like in shock Due for Abhumans I am a monster Due I am a waoman with a not woman spirit. The fun fact is how humanity finds a way to introducing a way of ALWAYS discriminate someone in the process.
And no @Havenstone is not a call to change it I as said understand that as human accuracy portrayal someone has to be the discriminate to point the flaws… Still maybe i am wrong as your explanation is less clear that the Silmarilion wrote in runes
Mara you’re getting mixed up again. You’re not a woman with a “non-woman spirit”, if you identify as a woman, your spirit is also womanly. The main problem here was the Abhuman putting importance (as they worship fluidity) on body changing rather than identification changing.
